Cindy and Janet,

    I have been back and forth between the digital vs. slide.  One of my
    friends does everything on digital, and cleans it up in photoshop,
    etc. I spoke to my photographer, Robert Diamante, who does some work
    in digital and some in slides.  He feels that the two technologies
    are not far from merging, however, he feels, as I do, that the
    quality of light on an object is still superior in slide format than
    digital. 

    This leads into another discussion, which is doing your own
    photography vs. a professional.  Some metalsmiths who do their own
    photography are quite good at it, such as Cindy Eid.  For me, I am
    not that good at it, nor want to take up what little time I have in
    doing my own slides.  I don't do my own taxes either, I have a
    professional take care of that as well, nor would I expect my CPA to
    make jewelry. 

    From another post on Orchid, I checked out http://www.slides.com/  
    This is an inexpensive alternative for slide duplication from print. 

    Locally, I agree with Cindy, in the Boston area, Dorian Color Lab 
    is a good place.  I can plop my film in the mail, and it arrives
    three days later.   My slides and duplicates look great.  You don't
    have to live here to have them develop your work.
